Marisa Fienup in the stunning dihedral of "Old Tow...


Description 

Starts at a fun corner that requires an interesting high foot that will make you get into a fantastic layback that you'll stay in for the rest of this climb. make some fun moves until you mantle the ledge at the half-way point then protect high off the ledge and continue up the upper layback (crux) to the easy topout.

Matthew Fienup:

Truly classic laybacking and stemming at an accessible grade. Every bit as good as it looks.


Protection 

I use some med nuts, 2 #2BD camalots, and some mid range cams for pro. I think you could use all small stuff but with the #2s it makes protecting ledge fall a breeze.
